Primary coil resistance: If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.







d. Using an ohmmeter, measure the secondary coil resistance between the positive (+) and high-tension terminal.

Secondary coil resistance: If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.

e. Connect the ignition coil connectors.
f. Connect the high-tension cords to the ignition coils.
